Behringer mx602 + Audiophile 2496 woes

I know this has been sort of discussed b4 but....
Ive got a guitar plugged into input 1 of my mx602 - the AUX send is up ( down on all other channels ) and the level up.The AUX out is plugged into one of the inputs of my 2496
The outputs of my 2496 are plugged into inputs 3 and 4 of the mx602.
On Cubase sx with direct monitoring ON, I can successfully record the just the guitar onto an empty audio track, and monitoring thru headphones on the mx602 seems fine. As I understand it, the 2496 is sending the signal coming in to the 2496 and directing it straight to the 'out's .
With direct monitoring OFF and a vst effect inserted in the audio track,and Im getting a slight flanging. I believe this might be happening because the signal is getting delayed going thru cubase, thru the fx and back to the mixer. It is then getting mixed with the dry signal direct into to mx602 from the guitar - hence the flanging.
And of course, how can i avoid this!
Or am i completely wrong!!
Many thanks

Unfortunately the aux send is post fader
This is from the manual:
3.3 Aux send
The aux send is mono, post-EQ and post-fader.
For almost all FX send purposes, you will want aux sends to be post-fader, so that when a channel level is
adjusted, any reverb send from that channel follows the channel volume. Otherwise, when the volume control is
turned down, the reverb from that channel would still be audible. For cueing purposes, aux sends will usually be
set pre-fader, i.e. independent of the channel volume.
Im getting 12ms latency on cubase with the 2496 set to 512 buffers. Ive tried lowering it to 384 but i start to get crackles. I thought that 12ms is quite high.
Thanks again
May 12, 2006 03:57 am Also,
I have read about a technique somewhere along these lines
1) direct monitoring ON
2) add second dummy audio track , insert a pre fader reverb set to 100% wet - channel fader down
In this way you can mix some of the reverb in with the dry signal ( it will be delayed due to the latency but unnoticably )
What i cant figure out is how to route the reverb from this second track to the recording track for monitoring purposes.
Any ideas ?
Thanks
May 12, 2006 08:40 pm Hey hey, thats a great idea.
Direct monitoring off, monitor track 1 and pull the channel fader down. Add an FX channel with desired FX.
Create a send from track 1 going to your FX channel and make sure to set it to "pre fader" (little button next to the on/off switch for the send).
And make sure your mix settings area at 100%
